Did you read the listing for the medical tricorder at Entertainment Earth's website? It states:
"Not only does the case open to reveal the detailed interior, but this deluxe version also includes a compartment with a removable scanner accessory with lights and motion that you won't find anywhere else!"

Wouldn't they know what their exclusive is about, or does someone truly have some inside info to the contrary?

I love the sound effects on the tricorders, but I am still not convinced voice clips were necessary.

Do you know for sure the spinning is manual or are you just guessing?

I think that if the voice clips are confined to the one button, I would be fine with it. There is honestly NO reason to have voices on a Tricorder though. Hopefully they do a better job at the lights then with the Communicator, there was a lot of light bleed around the "bezel" where the paint did not hide enough. I would feel much better playing around with it then my Master Replicas one, due to the costs of them. Plus I think I would get one of each too!

When and where did DST say it was a wheel to manually turn the scanner? Did I miss a Q&A? Also, why does the DST scanner have lights, when the TV prop did not? In any case, the thing should have spun and they could have omitted the lights and sound. Oh well, but thanks for the reply.

As for the EE description, it wouldn't be the first time the original DST press release was off from what the actual release is like. Heck, even the original packaging for the TOS comm stated that it had over 20 sound effects, when it only had 8 or 9. So I would rather go on information from a reliable insider than DST's product solicitations.

As for the communicator, the original plan could have been to have all those sound effects, but they got cut along the way and it may have been too late to change the packaging or it may have just been overlooked.
The official solicitaion TWOK phaser was also stated as having voice clips, which was later stated to be wrong and that the people who put together the desciption had mixed it up with the TOS tricorder.
These things happen, and it's understandable, but DST has made a number of flubs like that in the past.

They are due late April/early May. Then again, it's DST. I never hold my breath until Rick says they're on the water.

According to the pic, the medical scanner is electronic!
